Anne of Green Gables

It.  You  don't  want  me,  cried  the  child  suddenly.  You  don't  want  me  because  I'm  not  a  boy.  One  fine  spring  afternoon  in  Avon  Leia,  mrs.  Rachel  Lynn  sat  by  her  kitchen  window.

She  often  sat  there  because  she  could  see  the  Avon  Leah  road  very  well.  From  there,  a  man  with  a  horse  and  boogie  came  up  the  road.  It  was  Mrs.  Lynn's  neighbor,  Matthew  Cuthbert.  Where's  you  going?

Where's  Matthew  going?  Thought  Mrs.  Lind  in  surprise  fast.  That's  three  in  the  afternoon  and  he  has  a  lot  of  work  on  his  farm.  Where's  he  going  and  why  is  he  going  there?

Matthew  Cuthbert  lived  with  his  sister  Marilla  in  Green  Gables,  a  large  old  house  near  Mrs.  Lynn's  home.  Later,  Mrs.  Lynde  walked  to  Green  Gables.  Marilla  Keuthburt  was  busy  in  the  kitchen.

She  was  a  tall,  thin  woman  with  gray  hair.  Marilla  wasn't  young  or  pretty,  and  she  didn't  smile  very  much.  But  she  had  a  kind  heart.  She  wasn't  surprised  by  Mrs.  Lynn's  visit.

Marilla.  Marilla.  Marilla?  Said  Mrs.  Lynde  saw  Matthew  on  the  road.

Saw  Matthew  on  the  road?  Where's  he  going?

Great  River  Station,  answered  Marilla.  We're  getting  a  little  boy  from  an  orphanage  in  Nova  Scotia.  He's  coming  on  the  train  this  afternoon.  Mrs.  Lyn  couldn't  speak.

Then  she  said,  Own  an  orphan  boy?  Why  do  you  want  an  orphan  boy,  Phi?  Matthew  is  60  years  old,  answered  Marilla.  Answered  Marilla,  his  heart  isn't  very  strong.  He  wants  a  boy  to  help  him.

On  the  phone.  We  heard  about  Mrs.  Spencer  at  White  Sands.  She's  getting  a  little  girl  from  the  orphanage.  Matthew  and  I  want  a  little  boy.

Mrs.  Spencer  went  to  the  orphanage  today.  She's  bringing  a  boy  back  on  the  train  and  she's  going  to  leave  him  at  the  station.  Matthew  will  meet  him  there.  I  think  you're  doing  a  very  stupid  thing,  Marilla.

You  said  Mrs.  Lind.  You're  bringing  a  strange  boy  into  your  house.  You  don't  know  anything  about  him.  I  read  a  story  in  the  newspaper  about  an  orphan.

This  child  lived  with  a  Canadian  family.  The  child  lit  a  fire  one  night  and  the  family  died  in  the  fire.  But  it  was  a  girl,  not  a  boy.  Not  a  boy?  But  we're  not  getting  a  girl.

But  we're  not  getting  a  girl.  We  don't  want  a  girl.  We're  getting  a  boy.  Bright  River  Station  was  about  12  km  from  Avonlia.  Matthew  drove  there  slowly  in  the  boogie.

When  he  arrived  at  Bright  River,  it  was  late.  He  couldn't  see  a  train.  There  was  only  one  person  at  the  station,  a  little  girl,  about  eleven  years  old.  She  was  very  thin,  with  large  gray  eyes  and  long  red  hair.  She  wore  a  short,  ugly  dress  and  carried  an  old  bag.

When  she  saw  Matthew,  she  smiled.  Then  she  put  out  her  hand.  Then  she  put  out  her  hand.  Matthew  Cuthbert  of  Green  Gables?  She  asked.

I'm  from  the  orphanage.  Mrs.  Spencer  brought  me  here.  Matthew  took  the  child's  hand.  Matthew  took  the  child's  hand.

There's  a  mistake  there's  a  mistake.  This  is  a  girl,  not  a  boy.  So  when  you  weren't  here  at  the  station,  said  the  child,  I  thought  I  can  sleep  in  that  big  tree  tonight.  I  know  he'll  come  in  the  morning.  I  know  it's  a  long  way  to  your  house.

Mrs.  Spencer  told  me.  But  I  love  driving  and  I'm  going  to  have  a  home  with  you.  That's  wonderful.  I  never  had  a  home  with  you.

That's  wonderful.  I  never  had  a  home.  I'm  sorry.  He  took  the  little  girl's  bag  and  they  walked  to  the  buggy.  Like  I  can't  leave  this  child  at  the  station.

He  thought.  I'll  take  her  back  to  Green  Gables.  Marilla  can  tell  her  about  the  mistake.  The  girl  got  into  the  buggy  and  Matthew  drove  home.  The  child  talked  and  talked.

Matthew  listened.  He  was  a  quiet  man  and  he  was  usually  afraid  of  little  girls.  But  he  liked  listening  to  this  girl's  conversation.  Look  at  those  trees  with  the  beautiful  white  flowers,  said  the  girl  tied.  I  love  the  color  white.

I'd  like  a  beautiful  white  dress.  I  never  had  a  pretty  dress.  They  only  gave  us  ugly  clothes  at  the  orphanage.  I  know  I'm  going  to  be  very  happy  with  you.  But  one  thing  makes  me  sad.

Look  at  my  hair.  What  color  is  it?  Isn't  it  red?  Asked  Matthew.  It's  ask  Matthew.

It's  red.  I  hate  my  red  hair.  Sadly.  It's  red.  I  hate  my  red  hair.

It  was  evening  when  they  arrived  at  Green  Gables.  Marilla  came  to  the  door  and  looked  at  the  child  in  surprise.  Who's  this?  Matthew?  She  asked.

Where's  the  boy?  Said  Matthew  unhappily.  There  wasn't  a  boy,  said  Matthew  unhappily.  There  was  only  her.  I  couldn't  leave  her  at  the  station.

No  boy,  said  Marilla.  But  we  asked  Mrs.  Spencer  for  a  boy.  You  don't  want  me  because  I  want  me  because  I'm  not  a  boy,  cried  the  child  suddenly.  You  don't  want  me  because  I'm  not  a  boy.

Oh,  what  shall  I  do?  Don't  cry,  said  Marilla.  The  Boogie  can't  send  you  back  to  the  orphanage  tonight.  You'll  have  to  stay  here.  What's  your  name?

What's  your  name?  Sound.  Stop  crying.  Can  you  call  me  Cordelia?  She  asked  Fry.

Cordelia  sat  your  name  mouths?  Asked  Marilla  in  surprise.  Nino,  said  the  child  sadly.  But  Cordelia  is  a  prettier  name  than  mine.  My  name  is  Anne  Shirley.

Anne  with  an  aint.  But  please  call  me  Cordelia.  But  please  call  me  Cordelia.  Manlo,  said  Marilla.  But  she  smiled.

Dan  is  a  very  good  name.  Now  come  and  eat  something,  Anne.  Anne  sat  down  at  the  table,  but  she  couldn't  eat  anything.  So  Marilla  took  her  upstairs  to  a  small  bedroom.  Anne  took  off  her  clothes  and  got  sadly  into  bed.

Marilla  went  downstairs  and  washed  the  plates.  Matthew  sat  in  a  chair.  He  didn't  say  very  much.  I'll  drive  to  Mrs.  Spencer's  house  tomorrow,  said  Marilla,  and  I'll  ask  her  about  this  mistake.

We'll  have  to  send  this  child  back.  We'll  have  to  send  this  child  back.  She's  a  very  nice  little  girl.  It's  a  very  nice  little  girl.  And  very  interesting.

She  likes  to  talk  and  she  wants  to  stay  with  us.  Marilla  was  very  surprised.  But  Matthew,  she  can't  stay  here.  She  can't  stay  here.  She  said  a  Ned  girl  can't  help  you  on  the  farm.

But  maybe  we  can  help  her.  We  can  help  her.  Clance  league.  Matthew  Quietly.  I'm  going  to  send  her  back  to  the  orphanage,  said  Marilla.

Don't  want  an  orphan  girl.  All  right,  marilla.  Marilla.  Marilla.  Marilla.

Marilla,  said  Matthew.  I'm  going  to  bed  now.  Marilla,  put  the  plates  away  and  went  to  bed  now.  Put  the  plates  away  and  went  to  bed  too.  And  in  the  room  upstairs  the  little  orphan  girl  cried  and  cried.
